Unaever, it is a frast or a fam ine as regards husbands in Ti bet. ie out of every three males in Oiat country is in a monast ery.

Percy Hammond, once stated that in his over 40 years as a pinygoer the best performance he had seen was Henry Hull as Jeeter Lester in "Tobacco Road." I think the best legitimate stage performance I have seen was that of Jeanne Eagles as Sadie Thompson in "Rain." Forgotten Man Among the inventors to whom the femine portion of the popu lation owe a vote of thanks is Solomon Goldberg. He invented the crinkled hairpin. Before that all hairpins were straight and difficult to keep in the hair. The crinkled hairpin cured that dis couraging situation.

Dulles Asks Speed In Judge's Decision In Trial for Girard Washington Wi The federal judge deciding whether GI Wil liam S. Girard should be brought home immediately from Japan considered the case today under the spur of a plea for speed from Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Federal Judge Joseph C. Mc- Garraghy was expected to hand down a decision sometime this week. Dulles said in a disposition be fore the court released Monday that a speedy decision was need ed to avoid "great embarrass ment" to the United States. Risk of Injury He said "every hour" in which the issue of whether Japan or a U.S. military court martial should try Girard for killing a Japanese woman was not set tled was a source of internation al friction. He also said there is possible "risk of injury to United States personnel located in Japan." Administration officials said Dulles wanted a quick decision so tne case can reach the bu- preme Court before it recesses for the summer. Next Monday will be the last meeting of the current term unless the justices otherwise order. Girard's attorneys in New York attacked Dulles. They said he took an unprecedented, "bra zen" step and accused him of trying to have his political ac tions "rubber stemped" by the courts. International Furor Girard is accused of killing a Japanese woman while guard- ling a military firing range near I Tokyo. The case has created an international furor. In Japan, two witnesses to the 'incident said today Girard had : ordered Japanese scrap pickers off the firing range before he .fired the shot alleged to have killed Mrs. Naka Sakai. 1 It also was reported by the 'witnesses that Girard was walk ing or running toward Mrs. j Sakai when he fired the shot 'which killed her with his rifle I near his hip. The witnesses said he could ! not have aimed accurately while I moving over the rough terrain. Knight Definitely Not Interested in Senate Candidacy Sacramento, Calif. W Gov. Goodwin J. Knight of California said Monday that he hasn't "the slightest interest in accepting or seeking a candidacy for the United States Senate" in the 1958 election. The Republican governor was in Los Angeles, but his office here issued a formal statement "commenting on reports in cir culation in Washington for sev eral weeks that he (Knight) might be induced to seek the post which Sen. William F. Knowland will relinquish next year." Knight said no approaches had been made to him about re placing Knowland "and when ever the matter is discussed in my presence, I have tried to make both plain and definite that the position has no attrac tions for me." Governor Candidacy Seen "I will not be a candidate for the Senate regardless of any course I may follow in the fu ture," he said. Knowland several weeks ago j announced his decision to re tire at the end of his term, which expires in Jan. 1959. Many political columnists have predicted he plans to run for governor of California next year as a stepping stone toward a try for the GOP presidential nomi nation in 1960. Knowland has made no for mal announcement of such plans, however, saying only that he intends to confer with Re publican leaders in the state be fore he decides what he will do in the future. While Knight has made no formal announcement of his can didacy, he is expected to run for re-election next year for a new four-year term. Television May Aid Training of Pilots Binghampton, N. Y. W Television may give a new di mension to jet "flight" in a simu lator on the ground. The new wrinkle consists of the addition of a closed-circuit television to provide a life-like view of an airport on landing or takeoff as part of pilot training. Link Aviation Corp., builders of the famous Link trainer, is reported considering the use of the TV idea. It would consist of projecting on a screen in front of a simulator cockpit, a picture which reflects changes of per spective, altitude and motion caused by whatever action the training pilot takes with the sim ulator controls.

Tax Write-off Seen Possible Boomerang Spokane (W Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.) said Moa day that if a high Hells Canyoa dam bill were passed in the Sea ate it would be because of the selfishness of the Idaho Powar Co. in getting a fast tax write-ca4 on its Snake river projeet. The senator said that Feb. g marked the 20th anniversary of the Hells Canyon issue and so far the proponents of tha high dam have lost most of the fight. He said, however, the tax write off may be a boomerang aiding in passage of the high dam bill when it comes to the Sena. GirUt, Elderly Man Die in House Fire Monroe, Wash.
